Mark Spoon - Germany(Jam & Spoon)
DJ / Producer / Remixer

Mark Spoon is one of the busiest and most striking personalities of the European Dance Business
today !. He is one of those people everyone has a story about...

A man like a fairy tale figure - described in Germany's '98 "Mayday" booklet.

Mark Spoon is in a league which in Germany only Sven Vath and Westbam could claim to belong to. He does not operate within a category, Spoon is one !. That has a lot to do with the way he looks and his provocative appearance. He is, as it were, the personified state of emergency. Spoon's reputation as a party monster and backstage Casanova is known throughout the globe. Mark Spoon is one of those guys who seem to be living manifestation of a Bukowski character, the gossip surrounding his famous quotes and bizarre excesses may have even inspired the grand master of street literature to a story, if he were still alive. And even if this attitude has not been well received by all and sundry, one thing is sure: without Spoon, Techno music would have been a lot more boring.

At the beginning of the nineties, Spoon celebrated his first success as an Techno DJ at the Sound Factory in Frankfurt (warehouse parties organized by Alexander Azary using England's club concept as a role model and at the same time forerunners of rave scene in Frankfurt). As well as the first "Logic Records" A&R Manager, during the "Snap" era, Spoon played a decisive role in penning the success story of Germany's former premier dance label, discovering artists such as "Dr. Alban" and providing his first remixes for Alban and other Logic acts.

At the end of 1991, Mark left his A&R position to pursue a further calling. In co-operation with Sound Factory partner Azary, Spoon opened XS Club, which, with innovative concepts and international DJ bookings, set new standards in style in Frankfurt's clublife until its closure at the end of 1994.

Jam El Mar and Mark Spoon released their first work as Jam & Spoon in 1992, titled "Tales from a Danceographic Ocean". The track "Stella" was also on this EP. It made the charts in England and was a huge
club anthem throughout Europe. Shortly after, they succeeded with the remix of the classic track
"Age of Love", one of the anthems of the the year 1992 and one of the top-selling remixes in Techno history. This was followed by the double album "Tripomatic Fairytales 2001 & 2002". It's first single, "Right in the Night", stormed the charts throughout the world.

Jam & Spoon were not only reowned for their own production, they were also hired by an increasing number of international pop icons for remix work. In 19, after they had already tried their hands on work by acts such as Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys, Quincy Jones, Queen, Enigma, Stereo MC, to name but a few, their work in this field was awarded as "Remixer of the Year" by England's premier music magazines.

From 1993 until 1997, Mark Spoon hosted the last great era of the now legendary Sunday morning shift at the "Dorian Gray", thus securing a frontrow place in Frankfurt's DJ Hall of Fame. During this period, Mark and his partners used the venue of the airport club for a whole series of successful events such as Euphoria and Holy-X-Mas raves, which often last several days.

In 1997, Jam & Spoon released another of their own albums "Kaleidoskope". It's now most famous single,"Kaleidoscope Skies" was a smash hit for many months all over Europe.

In order to investigate dance music styles which were more compatible to the clubs, Jam & Spoon usually used the B-sides of their 12", or just created new pseudonyms to express their musical alter egos. "Tokyo Ghetto Pussy" is the most important project with which the due achieved world-wide chart success in the years 1995 and '96. With their current project Storm, whose first single made the German top 20, the pair appear to be moving on directly from this success.

1999 is looking to become a very important and varied year in the production work of Mark Spoon. After a studio phaseof almost two years, not only Jam & Spoon will return with a new long player, rather it is also high time to get on vinyl the energetic sound of Storm.

And - as if it weren't enough already - the first Mark Spoon LP under his own name will be released, on which he will feed his fans with the DJ styles he prefers himself.

Around the globe, Spoon has gazed out from behind his record decks over almost every club or event worth anything. The highlights of his career certainly include his gigs at "Tribal Gathering" in the UK, his numerous "Mayday" appearances and his three sets at the final "Love Parade" demonstration, where he performed in front of 200,000 people gathered at the Grosser Stern and millions in front of their TV sets.

As a resident DJ, Mark Spoon currently appears on a regular basis at the following renowned clubs in Germany: Kraftwerk KW - Munich, Pleasure Dome - Augsburg, Mach 1 - Nuernberg, Airport - Wuerzburg, Tribehouse - Neuss, U60311 - Frankfurt, Kalkscheune - Berlin.
